yeah but they made an earlier model that I liked. It was brown.

Haven't tried it, but I've got the GME one, the MESR-100, and the ESR70. They all read pretty similar to each other I think. I mainly use the ESR70 because it can estimate capacitance readings (not particularly accurate in circuit) and can also give you clues if the capacitor is leaky which the others I don't think do exactly. I think the ESR70 also has discharge protection whereas I'm not sure if the others do. So theoretically if you put one of those others on a charged capacitor, it could kill your meter instantly. Not saying they do, just saying worth looking into before you choose one.

Something like this needs to be verified by others, and we can sticky/FAQ it. :congrats:
